This impressive early March warm-up is not over yet. Temperatures
will soar into the 70s Wednesday, challenging records.
Early fog will break for lots of sunshine Wednesday allowing
temperatures to skyrocket. While 70s are a good bet inland, the shoreline will
be noticeably cooler. As the air blows over the Long Island Sound (water temp: 40s),
the air cools temporarily. This “sea breeze” as it’s called, will keep the
beaches in the 60s Wednesday.
But no matter where you are in the state Wednesday, records could
break. The record for Bridgeport is only 60 degrees. The record for the Hartford
area is 72.
Thursday is our bonus day. A cold front lurking nearby will
be close enough to provide more clouds. But it looks to hold off just long
enough to allow one final day near 70 before “cooler” air returns Friday.
While Friday – weekend will be technically cooler,
temperatures will still be well above average for this time of year. Parade
weekend weather looks dry and pleasant for now. Let’s cross our fingers and
hope nothing changes between now and then.
Early next week looks cooler and unsettled. But there is no
arctic cold in sight heading through the final days of winter and into the
start of spring.
